Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is one of the most important economic crops, which provides main source of oil and protein for human activities. Synergistic improvement in soybean yield and quality has been one of the key breeding trends in recent years. Molbreeding’s R&D team has designed a GenoBaits® Soybean 40K Panel from deep resequencing data of 2898 representative soybean accessions with the team led by Dr. Tian Zhixi from Chinese Academy of Sciences. After several rounds of optimization validation, this panel is made of more than 40,234 marker regions and a total of 59,903 high-quality SNPs, suitable for most of soybean breeding programs and mapping applications.
